When Lu Heng said this, his tone was indifferent. Although his face was still calm, his eyes turned cold and his demeanor hardened. At first glance, he didn't like this person. Wang Yanqing leaned on the couch halfway, and had a panoramic view of Lu Heng's expression. She saw no trace of reluctance, and believed it without a doubt.
Even if she felt that calling someone "Fu Thief" was not in line with her character.
The second brother was in a bad mood. Wang Yanqing lowered his voice subconsciously and asked tentatively, "Second brother, what did he do to the Lu family, why did I call him..."
Wang Yanqing paused before saying the inexplicable name: "Fu Thief."
Lu Heng lowered his head halfway, and locked Wang Yanqing with sparkling eyes. He looked at it for a while, and said slowly, "Because he has bad intentions towards you."
Wang Yanqing frowned, feeling that things were getting more and more strange. Lu Heng sighed softly, clenched Wang Yanqing's hand, and said, "It's my fault for not protecting you. When I was a kid, I took you out to play, and I accidentally met Fu Tingzhou. He was very interested in you, and I warned him many times. He still didn't take it seriously and harassed you even more. Later, I seldom took you out, and tried to hide your information outside. Therefore, except for the relatives of the Lu family, few outsiders knew of your existence. But this is so, Fu Tingzhou doesn't give up."
Wang Yanqing's eyes widened, Qing Lingling stared at Lu Heng, earnestly waiting for the words behind him. Lu Heng sighed deeply, and after a while, he said in an indescribable tone: "You grow up slowly, and you are at the age to talk about kissing. I clearly didn't show any intention of you wanting to marry, but he didn't. He wants to marry you. What's more, what he promises is not the position of the wife, but the concubine."
Wang Yanqing let out a soft "ah", as if there was a throbbing pain in his heart. When listening to Lu Heng's grievances with Fu Tingzhou before, Wang Yanqing seemed to be floating in the clouds. Although everything was reasonable, she always felt that there was no sense of reality. However, the last words instantly aroused her emotions. She had no memory. She had come to this day by intuition. Her emotions clearly echoed Lu Heng's words. Wang Yanqing accepted Lu Heng's words without hesitation.
In this case, Fu Tingzhou is very hateful. Wang Yanqing frowned and said displeasedly, "He stalked the woman only once he saw the woman. If he really fell in love at first sight and wanted to marry the woman as his wife for many years, I could still call him affectionate, but he To take someone as a concubine. How can such a person be entrusted for life?"
Lu Heng stroked Wang Yanqing's wrist. Hearing this, he nodded in approval: "That's right, I think so too. I rejected him clearly. Lost his memory. This kind of person is not as good as a pig or dog. You used to hate him so much that you called him Fu Thief."
After all, the other party is the Marquis of Zhenyuan, but calling him a thief is quite impolite. Wang Yanqing thought she would not say such rude words, but thinking about what Fu Tingzhou did, and feeling that she hated him so much, it seemed reasonable to call him a thief.
Since this was what he did in the past, Wang Yanqing hesitated for a while before accepting it. She asked, "Second brother, Thief Fu is so rampant, what should we do in the future?"
Lu Heng tried to hold back his laughter, still holding the image of a perfect good brother, looking at her with a sigh and a mournful look: "It's not a pity for this thief to die, but he caused Qingqing to suffer a lot. Speaking of it, it's still the second brother. No, if I had found out earlier, what would have happened?"
Wang Yanqing's face sullen when she heard this, she stood up straight on the bed, looked at Lu Heng seriously, and said, "Second brother, you don't want to take everything on yourself. You are sitting upright, how can you prevent the little boy? A sneak attack? He actually took advantage of the incense, which is really treacherous. Second brother, it is reasonable for you to be unprepared. My memory loss was an accident, how can I blame you?"
Lu Heng quietly listened to Wang Yanqing's righteous indignation and scolding people. Hearing the back, Lu Heng could hardly hold back the smile in his eyes. She didn't know that the sneak attacking villain she scolded was the "second brother" in front of her. Lu Heng sat closer, clenched Wang Yanqing's hands tightly, and looked at Wang Yanqing with drunken eyes: "Qingqing knows the righteousness, which makes my brother very moved. You don't blame me for the memory loss, but, I Without discussing it with you, I directly rejected your marriage..."
Speaking of this, Wang Yanqing's face became more serious: "Second brother, what are you talking about? The Lu family spent so much energy raising me up and teaching me to read and practice martial arts, is it because they want me to be someone else's concubine? You refused. Well, even if I listened to him, even if he had the power to kill the sky, he would never agree."
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Really?"
"Naturally." Although Wang Yanqing doesn't remember her past experiences at all, she firmly believes that no matter who she is now or who she was in the past, she will never look down on herself and be willing to be a canary in a man's cage. Even in the name of love.
Lu Heng knew that Fu Tingzhou and Wang Yanqing had a deep relationship, and that Fu Tingzhou planned to make Wang Yanqing his concubine, but he didn't know Wang Yanqing's attitude. Losing memory will only allow a person to reveal their true self, and will not change their true character. If she refuses so firmly, perhaps she did not want to be in the past
Lu Heng kept thinking about it, he finally showed a genuine smile, and said leisurely: "However, based on what I know about Fu Tingzhou, he is not a master who is willing to let people go. He originally thought that you would not refuse, so he gave it to you. Concubine position, if you refuse, but arouse his competitive spirit, he will free up Mrs. Hou's position..."
"Second brother, you don't have to test me." Wang Yanqing stopped Lu Heng, and said righteously, "How can a man who is willing to marry after being rejected has any sincerity? Since I called him Fu Thief, it means that he has I hate him to the extreme. I'd rather live a life of mediocre food, than for the sake of prosperity, wealth, and honor, with a man I don't like. Don't worry, second brother, I won't betray you for the mere position of Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou. "
These words undoubtedly spoke to Lu Heng's heart, how much he wished there was someone who could stand firmly on his side no matter what temptation he faced. Unfortunately, even she is not real. Lu Heng sighed inwardly, put on a smile, and said to Wang Yanqing, "I'm relieved to hear what Qingqing said. Fu Tingzhou can't believe it, but there are princes and earls in the capital. What if others want to marry you with a lot of money? ?"
"Second brother!" Wang Yanqing found that Lu Heng was very strange tonight, and always tried her out with some marriage matters. After all, she is a girl who has never left the cabinet, and she was embarrassed and angry when she heard these words, "What did you say? Those people have been wealthy and noble for generations, and I have never seen such a scene. I have no talent, no virtue, and an ordinary appearance. It is strange enough that the Marquis of Zhenyuan sees me. Others were born in the splendid pile, how can they see me? "
"I don't agree with that." Lu Heng laughed, rarely telling the truth, "Qingqing is beautiful, observant, literate, good at martial arts, and gentle in temperament. Which man wouldn't like you?"
Lu Heng kept looking at her when he said these words, his eyes were sincere, as if he was talking about the most important thing in the world. Wang Yanqing blushed when he was told, and said angrily, "That's why you look at me with your brother's eyes, so everything is good. How can other people do this?"
"Why not?" Lu Heng said, "The girl I like, how can others not covet? You have to be more confident."
Hearing these words, Wang Yanqing twitched his fingers uncontrollably. She didn't know whether the "girl" in Lu Heng's words was referring to her younger sister or something else, she panicked for a moment, and after reacting to her face, she folded her legs and was about to go to bed: "You always talk nonsense, I ignore it. is you."
Lu Heng smiled leisurely, stretched out his hand in front of Wang Yanqing, and easily blocked her way. Lu Heng said: "Okay, Qingqing doesn't like it, I won't say it. If it's true or not, if someone is willing to use the wealth of thousands of dollars and the honor of being a wife to ask you to marry you, what does Qingqing think?"
Wang Yanqing's skirts were stacked on the edge of the couch and looked back at Lu Heng. Lu Heng didn't dodge either and let her watch. Wang Yanqing is not stupid. This night, Lu Heng first mentioned Fu Tingzhou, and later tried her out with the matter of marriage. Obviously, there was something in his words. Wang Yanqing asked, "Second brother, are you afraid that I will betray the Lu family?"
"No." Lu Heng vetoed with a smile, eyes like a wolf staring at its prey at night, and clinging to Wang Yanqing faintly, "I'm afraid you will leave me."
For Lu Heng, there is no difference between leaving and betrayal. Even if he has a younger sister, once he leaves home and gets married, he is no longer trustworthy. Besides, Wang Yanqing is not his sister. She is now willing to follow him because of her "brother" status. What if she meets someone she likes
For example, Fu Tingzhou. There are too many examples in the world of the resurgence of old love, and Lu Heng dare not gamble.
Wang Yanqing was a little angry, Lu Heng didn't believe her, they had been together for ten years, and the second brother still suspected her? But when I thought about his position, I thought it was understandable. Jin Yiwei is in charge of supervising hundreds of officials, and what he does is both offending and dangerous. If he hadn't always been cautious and always used the worst possibility to speculate on people's hearts, how could he have gotten to this point
After all, Wang Yanqing couldn't bear to scold her second brother, she softened her tone, took the initiative to snuggle up to Lu Heng's side, and gently leaned on his shoulder: "Second brother, don't worry, I will not leave you. My adoptive father brought me back from the front line. , Entong Re-creation, I should be filial to my adoptive father for three years. I will not marry in these three years, and will accompany you at the Lu family. "
Lu Heng felt the soft and fragrant touch on his shoulders and asked, "What about three years later?"
"Three years later, my brother is going to marry my sister-in-law. At that time, maybe the second brother dislikes me and wants to drive me out."
Lu Heng laughed and put his arms around her shoulders: "How come. I wish Qingqing would stay with me for the rest of my life."
At this point, the two stopped tacitly. The two of them wear the skin of brother and sister, and no matter what kind of intimacy they have, they can be pushed on to brother and sister. But the two knew that they were not siblings.
When Wang Yanqing woke up, she was like a baby, ignorant of the world in front of her, and Lu Heng was her only support. She obeys her inner feelings and trusts her second brother unconditionally, but there is always a kind of uneasiness in her heart, which makes her not dare to entrust it all to her second brother.
It is better to maintain the state of intimacy as it is now, but never cross that boundary. Anyway, the two of them won't get married within three years, and there won't be a third person among them. After three years, maybe Wang Yanqing's memory has recovered, and it will not be too late to talk about longer-term matters.
Lu Heng tried it out and made sure that Wang Yanqing didn't remember anything for the time being, and he didn't have any disagreement with him, then he slowly mentioned his real purpose: "Qingqing, it's okay for you to be like the second brother, but when you go outside, you won't be able to. You can't be so gullible. Especially Fu Tingzhou, this guy is full of lies, shameless, and does everything he can to achieve his goals. He can even set up an ambush on the way to incense, what else is he not willing to do? What dare you do? When you come back to Beijing in the future, if you happen to meet him, you should ignore this person. If you really can't avoid him, ignore him and don't believe anything he says. He is very despicable. If I find out that you have amnesia, I will deceive you with some inexplicable words, Qingqing, don't fall for it easily."
Wang Yanqing nodded, keeping the second brother's words firmly in his heart, and solemnly said, "I understand."
Lu Heng scolded Fu Tingzhou, and the inexplicable anger in his heart finally became more comfortable. Over the years, only Lu Heng has plotted against others, and no one has ever made Lu Heng suffer. Lu Heng took the blame for Fu Tingzhou, was scolded, and had been waiting for him for a long time. Now collect some interest with Fu Tingzhou first, and the rest will be calculated after returning to the capital.
After Lu Heng gave Fu Tingzhou eye drops, he finally got to the point: "Qingqing, do you know the current situation?"
Wang Yanqing shook her head, she wanted to straighten up to listen, but Lu Heng held her shoulders secretly, and still let her lean on her shoulders: "Chaotang is complicated now, but simple and simple. You should remember that the emperor is not the son of the first emperor, but Came here from the domain to be enthroned?"
Wang Yanqing replied softly. She had heard about these situations, but she didn't know the details. Now that Lu Heng, who had witnessed King Xing's ascension to the throne, explained it for her, Wang Yanqing knew that the opportunity was rare, so she quietly leaned on Lu Heng without interrupting a word.
Talking about the emperor is taboo, Lu Heng didn't say much, and said lightly: "There are so many princes in the clan, but in the end the throne fell to King Xing, who was only fourteen years old. Many people refused to accept it. After knowing the will of the imperial court, he escorted King Xing to the capital with the fastest speed, but after coming to the capital, his succession to the throne was not smooth. At first, King Lixing meant Yang Ting's first assistant. I want King Xing to be crowned as a prince, and I want to isolate us, the old officials of the palace. In this way, he is the benefactor of King Xing, and King Xing has no one to use, so he can only rely on him. But he was very clever. He quickly understood Yang Ting's intentions, and he refused to enter the palace through Donghua Gate, nor to live in the Prince's residence. At that time, the situation was very dangerous, and at a critical time, two people stood up to speak. One is the current second assistant Zhang Jinggong, and the other is the Marquis of Wuding Guo Xun."
Both of them were court officials, Wang Yanqing lowered his voice and asked, "And then?"
"Zhang Jinggong publicly impeached Yang Ting and supported King Xing to ascend the throne in the name of the emperor, while Guo Xun contacted the manpower and directly brought the army to support King Xing. Oh yes, you may not know that King Xing's biological mother was the one at that time. The Princess Jiang of Xingxian is also the daughter of Xungui. Guo Xun used to be the subordinate of Princess Xingxian's father, and he still has such a relationship with the Jiang family."
Wang Yanqing understood, no wonder Marquis Wu Ding is now calling for wind and rain, and he is a well-deserved leader in the capital. It turned out that he was a great hero who supported the emperor back then. The icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. With this credit, Wuding Houguang will be able to eat for a lifetime.
"After King Xing successfully ascended the throne, he had a dispute with Yang Ting the next year over whether to give the emperor's biological father the title of King Xingxian. The Tingyi Party strongly opposed it and demanded that the emperor recognize Xiaozong as his father, and only called King Xingxian as his uncle. Even the Princess Jiang of Xingxian could not enter the palace, nor could he be given the title of Empress Dowager. The top scholars of the cabinet, the six ministers, the officials of Kedao, and the students of the Hanlin Academy all supported Yang Ting. Yang Ting's son even brought more than 200 officials to kneel outside Zuoshunmen, shouting for Emperor Xiaozong to shake the door. Crying loudly, the voice shook the court. The emperor was someone who was willing to be threatened, and immediately ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest the troublemaker in jail, and beat him if he didn’t obey. On the most serious day, there were a total of 130 in front of Zuo Shun’s gate. Four were killed by court staff, and many were beaten to death on the spot, with blood flowing into rivers.
Wang Yanqing held her breath unconsciously, she was nervous when she heard it, and Lu Heng and Lu Song were both experienced. No wonder the emperor trusts the Lu family so much, and the friendship between Wei Mo is more practical than Yang Ting's support.
Wang Yanqing asked cautiously, "Who won in the end?"
"Naturally it's the emperor." Lu Heng laughed and said meaningfully, "The saint is young and smart, he is full of poetry and books, and he is full of opinions. How can the ministers fight against him, how can there be good fruit to eat? After the Yang family was sent down, the Yang party dismounted one after another. , replaced the current chief assistant Yang Yingning to come up."
Wang Yanqing snorted softly: "Also surnamed Yang?"
"Yes." Lu Heng nodded, and they also felt that this was evil. The emperor was afraid that it was not his fate to commit Yang, so he finally sent away a Yang Ting, and another Yang Yingning came. Lu Heng ran his fingers through Wang Yanqing's hair and said slowly, "Yang Yingning didn't publicly support Yang Ting back then, but his stance was more old-fashioned. He spoke to people in Yang Ting's party several times. He even wrote a letter some time ago saying that a great gift would be a waste of money for the people. He ordered all officials to be in harmony with each other, and once again asked the emperor to forgive the sins of the ministers. I am investigating the case."
Hearing this, Wang Yanqing frowned, "Who is impeaching?"
Lu Heng smiled without saying a word, wrapped Wang Yanqing's hair around his fingertips, and turned slowly: "How do I know about the cabinet? All I can do is to share the emperor's worries."
Wang Yanqing got up from Lu Heng's shoulder, but this time, Lu Heng didn't stop her. She fixedly looked at Lu Heng and asked, "Have you found out?"
"There are features, but more evidence is needed." Lu Heng looked at Wang Yanqing with a smile and asked, "Will Qingqing do me one more favor?"
The author says:
Lu Heng: I shamelessly even scolded myself.
